when john was the f.b.i. spokesman, he was often not helpful, but you could always talk to him and get him on the phone. if you had a good story, he would confirm it by laughing. a deep laugh meant you were on the right track. no laughter meant no. >> now, it looks like the tide is very much going against republicans. do you agree with that? >> well, no. i think in the short political terms, yes. the polling shows republicans will be blamed, but remember this is the obama era. it's going to go down -- it is his economy. i asked people, who was speaker of the house during the great depression when roosevelt was president? i'll give $100 to anyone who can name who the speaker of the house was in the critical first 100 days. >> jim would know. >> henry thomas rainey. that's a name that's in the history books. point being, speaker boehner's an important player and this is significant, but it is obama's job to lead and define. so if there are negative consequences here, particularly in the economy, it's going to b

that's senator john cornyn. amending our rules at the beginning of a congress is not breaking the rules to change the rules. it is reaffirming that the u.s. constitution is superior to the senate rules, and when there is a conflict between them, we follow the constitution. i find some of the rhetoric about amending our rules particularly troubling. we've heard comments that any such reforms if done by a majority would destroy the senate. again, i can turn to ply my republican colleagues to answer this accusation. in 2005, the republican policy committee released a memo entitled "the constitutional option, the senate's power to make procedural rules by majority vote." that memo supports the same arguments i make today for reform by a majority. and it also refutes many of the recent claims about how the senate will be permanently damaged. one section of the memo titled "common misunderstandings of the constitutional option" is especially interesting and enlightening. it responds to the argument that the essential

one question i keep coming up against is the president and john boehner are now supposedly having good, substantive discussions. can boehner bring the troops along? if he agrees with the president, can he get enough tea party republicans behind him to sale the deal? because that wasn't the case back in 2011. and, tony, i have to say, both sides seem to have really -- with all the rhetoric we've had leading up to today, it seems to me that both sides have rallied up their bases and i have questions about whether either of them can deliver. >> yeah. i think it makes it really difficult. jared is right, you know, you talk about each element of what an agreement might be. some of them are really big water fall kinds of issues, right? and the rate issue is a water fall kind of issue. you don't meet in the middle. you have to go over and everybody go off the water fall together. >> wait a second. is there a proposal that could be met which would say we're going to raise income tax rates, but we're not going to go back to 39.6%? maybe 37%. >> it is possible, but still it is movement on margin
